NOTE: JULY DATE RELATES TO THE USA ONLY

We have created two files to help folks at home anticipate and plan for our big Star Wars 7/26 launch. These files will be available for download at starwars.hasbro.com next Wednesday 7/16. They are: 1. The "Hasbro Clone Wars Handbook" details almost everything that will be available 7/26 and over the course of the Fall for Clone Wars, with images of all basic figures, vehicles, exclusives, and more. 2. As the Handbook focuses on Clone Wars, and does not have actual anticipated on-shelf dates breakdowns of figures by wave, we have crafted a second companion spreasheet titled the "Hasbro Star Wars Fall 2008 Release Guide". This Excel spreadsheet details Clone War and Legacy Collection information, along with availability dates and wave breakdowns, so all collectors will know what to focus on when. Please spread the word that these will be available 7/16 for download at STARWARS.HASBRO.com. Thanks!

Question #1 Dear Hasbro,
A while ago, a rumor surfaced that we would see an Emperor Palpatine figure on throne. Are there any plans to issue a ROTJ Palpatine seated on throne in the near future?
Mike S

HASBRO REPLY:
There are no plans to issue a RotJ Emperor on a throne, nor have we even looked at it.

Question #2 I've heard a rumour that in order to cut pollution during the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games, that manufacturing in China will cease for about a month. I honestly doubt that it will be all over China, but more around Beijing and other Games locations. My question is, if this is the case, how will it effect you (Hasbro)? Have you taken measures to prevent delays or supplies?
Commander Collars

HASBRO REPLY:
We really haven't heard anything to this effect and expect no impact to our production.

Question #3 With the recent release of images of vehicles from the upcoming Clone Wars movie and series, we've seen some new vehicles that will make their debut here just as the modified AotC Jedi Starfighter with the astromech droid in the middle (as on the new Galactic Heroes version); a Republic mobile artillery piece; Anakin's B-wing-like transport; and what looks like a more military-oriented version of the Imperial Shuttle. We're also seeing the Acclamator/Republic Attack Cruiser from 'Attack of the Clones' in full red colouring instead of the all-grey scheme used in AotC (which would make a great re-paint). Are any of these vehicles going to be coming up in the Clone Wars-themed Titanium re-launch, or to coincide with the launch of the Clone Wars film and series?
Darth Windu

HASBRO REPLY:
At least two of these will be coming out this Fall for Titanium - the Twilight (Anakin's transport), and the modified Clone Wars Starfighter. The others are likely down the road, but might not be before 2010.
